New Tagmarshal Pace-of-Play Features on Display at U.S. Open Host Erin Hills

(Las Vegas, NV) – Tagmarshal – the pace-of-play and revenue-optimizing system relied upon by Whistling Straits, Valhalla, Ballybunion and other top golf courses globally – features new tools utilized by U.S. Open host Erin Hills to track tournament practice rounds June 12-14.

“These new ways to interpret data further help courses attain their business objectives,” says Bodo Sieber, Chief Executive Officer of Tagmarshal. “Staff has more information than ever to deliver a premier golf experience and effortlessly keep golfers moving at appropriate paces.”

Erin Hills, an innovator and early adopter of Tagmarshal pace-of-play analytics, will use the system to track round times, slower holes and overall course movement during all U.S. Open practice rounds.

Since partnering with Erin Hills, Tagmarshal added applications critical to course operations. A recent partnership with Golf Weather allows live and historical forecast data to feed into pace-of-play analysis. Tagmarshal is also integrated with EZLinks Golf management software and other top providers for individual golfer pace profiles.

A recent USGA survey shows 74% of golfers believe pace is “critical” to their enjoyment of rounds. Fittingly, the Tagmarshal solution reduces slow play, improving average round times and enabling courses to optimize revenue opportunities. Superintendents use Tagmarshal to better manage pin placements and hole set ups which lead to less golfer stress, better scores and repeat play.
